I really need support for Wed. please. I have an appointment with a GENERALIST?????at the hospital :?: :?: ......
My GP is very good but I'm so fed up being shoved around from doctor to consultant to physio to acupuncture back to another consultant {different kind} and now its a generalist.....No one knows whats wrong with me....x ray does show up a fracture in the pelvis but the pain I've got and the place where the fracture is dont seem to match :sad: So she says that he is more likely to look at everything and have an idea what might be wrong...rather than a specialist that will just go for their pet subject and look at nothing else....She wants to see what the underlying cause is??? :eek: That doesnt sound good to me :shock:
Love
Hileena

    Hilenna,

    Sending hugs and love for wed, I know how frustrating it can be (been there).

    I suppose although it's frustrating it's good that they investigating every avenue to try and find out what the problem is instead of just saying it's chronic pain and sending you to pain clinic!

    I always found it hard to remember everything when I went to hospital when they firing questions at you where, when, how long, what type etc. I tweaked a pain map which was colour coded in three different levels, it's very visual and easy for them to see where the problems lie. I take one each time I go now cos they put them on my records and it's easy to see what is happening. If you would like a copy of it to look at if you think it will help then send me your email address and will send you a blank one and also example one.

    Thinking of you and hoping for the best. Xx

    Ooooh Anky, what a clever idea, I like that. May I use it too?

    Count me in , Hileena, I'll be there come hell or high water (and traffic jams too). Let's hope this chappie has a fresh approach and can get to the heart of the matter. DD

    Hi Hileena

    I am so glad that your doctor has refered you to a generalist. At least they will look into everything and should find what's going on. That will be a relief for you.

    And without question I will be there in your pocket tomorrow. What time is your appointment?

    Morning Hileena

    Yes, I'll be there too on Weds!

    I hope that this appt is helpful in getting to the bottom of what's been going on for you. I hadn't heard of a "generalist" either but I can see that it might be helpful. I too have been pushed from consultant to consultant in the past and have found that they are SO specialised in their approach almost to the extent of sheer ridiculousness (wouldn't be surprised to hear one say something like "I only know about right earlobes, you'll need to see another consultant if you have concerns about your left earlobe" :roll:). And on that basis no-one stands a chance if they've got more than one thing going on. So this generalist chappie might represent a bit of a turning point for you. I do hope so Hileena.

    Thinking of you.

    Hi Hileena

    I will be with you on Wednesday, hoping everything goes well and they get to the bottom of things. My husband was having a lot of health problems a couple of years ago and after a while he went to see a Generalist and its the best thing that could have happened. He is a wonderful doctor and has helped my Husband so much.
    Big Hugs

    Just to wish you all the very best on Wednesday, dear Hileena. At least you are being well looked after by your GP and I hope the appointment goes as you would wish it to and you get answers to your questions.

    Love

    Hi Hileena

    Just wanted to say hi and to let you know that I will be with you on Wednesday - I do hope you have large pockets as it is likely to get crowded in there. I hope no one minds me bringing my egg sarnies.
